Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1393 Six Things

"In the pre-Tang Xian and Wen Dynasties, the Tenth King of Bohai, Renxiu, rejuvenated the country. Renxiu was quite capable of conquering the tribes in the north of the sea and opening up a great realm." Chen Cheng did his homework in advance, and this time he will concentrate on introducing some situations of Bohai.

In addition to the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang, there are also officials from the six departments of the Shangshu, the chief officials of the Lifan Academy and the Privy Council.Everyone sat upright with serious faces.

Shao Shude walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

This is a very unique courtyard.

Other things in the courtyard are not unusual. After all, Shao Shude has seen many buildings of various colors, especially the aristocratic courtyard with Tang culture as the main theme, and countless people have lived in it.

What really interested him was the heating facilities in the room.

Goguryeo and Bohai "alternately rise and fall, and connect back and forth", and the two have certain similarities in culture - Goguryeo is an ethnic group of the dirty family, and Bohai is a group of the Sushen family. As the second of the four major ethnic groups in Northeast China, their relationship Actually very close.

This similarity is reflected in the layout of the houses.

First of all, the outer wall is a mixed structure of soil and stone, which is not very tall.

Secondly, it adopts the main room and corridor structure, rectangular, three rooms, and the east and west rooms are wider, which are the main living rooms.The middle room is narrow and is a meeting place.

Third, the kang, chimney and flue of the stove are combined, and the heating facilities are very complete.

If one side supports the other side, the environment is different, and the living habits and customs are different after all.

He hadn't seen such a kang in the Central Plains before.Every household in Bohai State, as long as they have the conditions, will try their best to build even a simple fire pit-of course, the Mohe tribe does not seem to need it. They live in the mountains with lower temperatures, or in the north with higher latitudes. I am so poor that I rely on "shaking" to survive the winter.

"Sleeping on a kang, even in the ice and snow, it won't hurt me at all." Shao Shude said happily.

"Your Majesty?" Chen Cheng stopped.

"Continue." Shao Shude sat cross-legged on the big kang, and stretched out his hand to signal.

"The 'sea' here should be Meituo Lake (Xingkai Lake)." Chen Cheng added: "The Yuexi tribe of the Heishui tribes lives in the east and north of the sea. It has sent envoys to Tang Dynasty eleven times to pay tribute. It was the 18th year of Zhenyuan, Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty. The Yulou tribe was located in the northeast of the Yuexi tribe, and also came to pay tribute in the 18th year of Zhenyuan. After the two tribes were conquered, Bohai set up Anyuan Mansion and Huaiyuan Mansion in the old place of Yuexi, and set theorem in the old place of Yulou After Da Renxiu, three successive generations of monarchs focused on consolidation, set up prefectures and counties, immigrated and reclaimed land, and gradually digested them. Adding in the achievements of the northern strategy such as Suibin, Dongping, and Tieli before Darenxiu, Bohai people Knowing that their expansion has reached the limit, they stopped going north.”

"The Yuexi, Yulou, Heishui and other ministries who were not willing to surrender went far to the bitter cold places in the north. The Bohai State implemented a policy of restraining them and built a side wall to prevent them from going south."

"After extensive development, new lands have gradually become granaries. For example, Dongping and Anyuan prefectures are already Bohai granaries, and Suibin prefecture is a land for raising horses, where cattle and sheep are wild, and they are very prosperous."

"However, there are also many hidden dangers in these prefectures and counties that were obtained from the northward expansion. That is, the Mohe tribe that surrendered to Bohai has not completely returned to their hearts. Since the end of Emperor Xizong of the former Tang Dynasty, they have tried to get rid of the rule of Bohai. The people of Bohai have conquered several times, which is not good. The Mohe tribe was also injured, so they did not openly rebel, but it has been delayed until now, and they can no longer be suppressed."

"This time when the tribes of Blackwater went south, these tribes in Zhengzhou of Bohai echoed it, saying that they were "one family" and agreed to attack Bohai together. Therefore, the situation of the northern prefectures was in serious trouble, and the people of Bohai were devastated."

"The rise and fall of dynasties fascinates people." Shao Shude sighed: "If it was still in the period of Great Renxiu and Great Yizheng, I am afraid I would not be able to win easily."

Chen Cheng explained in more detail, and he explained clearly the prosperity and decline of the Bohai Kingdom, as well as their century-old grievances with Heishui Mohe.

Bohai people are actually Mohe, that is, Sumo Mohe.But they have not mentioned this matter for a long time, and they have been calling themselves Bohai people for more than a hundred years, because they are a fusion of Goguryeo, Han, Khitan, Xi, and Sogdian.Bohai people or Bohai people are their new identities.

What black water mohe poor relatives?Fuck off, don't blindly cling to us civilized people.

"Is Wanyan Xiu here?" Shao Shude patted the edge of the Kang and asked.

Soon someone went out to summon.

Wanyanxiu's status is too low, he is not qualified to enter the small courtyard to discuss matters, and is still waiting outside the door.

"Your Majesty." Wan Yanxiu trotted in and saluted.

Shao Shude glanced at him.

Only a few days later, I changed into a beautiful dress.The beard and hair are also well-groomed, and the face has been washed, and it is no longer the greasy look it used to be.

Civilized, progressive, and smug.

But that's a good thing.Shao Sheng is not easy to drive people who have no desires and desires.

If you like money, I will give you money.

Those who like women, I reward beauties.

Those who are highly addicted to officialdom will also be given a suitable position.

Don't be afraid of asking too much, but be afraid of not asking.

Wanyanxiu has been dazzled by the rich life, which is exactly what Shao Shude would like to see.

"Wanyanxiu, go back to the north and let the chieftains of the Blackwater Tribes come to see me." Shao Shude said, "If they have any appeals, you can tell them and listen to them. As long as they are reasonable, they can be considered. But burning, killing, and looting are not allowed." Yes, it must be stopped immediately. If you don't listen, I will not be soft."

Wanyanxiu is the chief of the Wanyan clan of Heishui Thirty, and he still has some prestige in the north.And he is a general of the Luoyan Army. Although he has not been to the Central Plains, he has also heard about the prosperity and prosperity of Luoyang, Beiping, Chang'an and other places. In addition, he has seen the martial arts of the Great Xia Forbidden Army with his own eyes. The next strategy is to go back and persuade the old guys.

Nesting in a ravine, he is very brave and fierce, with an arrogant appearance that he is the second child and I am the third.When Bohai was strong, everyone was beaten like a turtle grandson, running around like rats.Now that the Bohai Sea has weakened, one by one is shaking again.

Alas, sit and watch the sky.

"The general will obey." Wan Yanxiu replied without hesitation.

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Shao Shude: "The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers, it's almost noon, let's leave after eating."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wan Yanxiu happily replied.

Shao Shude got off the kang and called everyone to move to the backyard.

The accompanying palace attendants and Xiao Huangmen were already busy with their work, and they brought out simple meals.

"Only steamed cakes." Shao Shude smiled.

"Since the expedition, I have eaten mostly rice, and I have long wanted to eat steamed cakes." Zhao Guangfeng said with a smile.

Everyone also laughed a few times.

A felt blanket was spread in the courtyard, and everyone sat cross-legged.

Shao Shude beckoned, and Yue Liduo, mother and daughter who had been admiring the flowers in the backyard, sat over.

Shao Shude took the jar brought by the palace man again, uncovered the mud seal with his own hands, scooped out a spoonful of rabbit meat sauce, spread it evenly on the steamed cake just out of the cage, and handed it to the two girls beside him.

Rabbit meat sauce is a local specialty of Bohai Sea.

Take the meat on both sides of the rabbit's spine and cervical spine, scoop out the meat carefully, and then chop it into pieces.For each bucket of rabbit meat, mix well with five liters of yellow clothes, five liters of dry salt, and five combinations of Chinese pepper, then pour in wine, mix carefully, put it in a jar, seal it tightly with mud, and wait for five months, almost It's ready to eat.

Since the Goguryeo era, the residents of Northeast China have been fond of making soy sauce. Soy bean paste is the food of the general public, and rabbit meat paste is the food of the rich.

As for why rabbit meat is used for sauce.It may be that there are too many rabbits in the Northeast, to the point of flooding.Don't know how the carnivores work, so irresponsible.

Yue Liduo was about to give birth, and she was not very emotional, so she put it down after taking two bites.

Yelu Zhigu ate deliciously, but his complexion was not very good either.A few days ago, her fresh and firm body bled a lot, and she didn't recover until yesterday.

But after all, he is young and in good health, so it seems that there is no serious problem.

Chen Cheng, Zhao Guangfeng and the others also took out the rabbit meat sauce, spread it on the steamed cake, and ate it in small bites.

The rabbit meat sauce was all captured, and it was eaten in Aodong City.

To be honest, the taste is a bit salty, which does not meet the taste of their high-ranking officials.But ordinary soldiers are still very happy to eat. Maybe they have to march, work, drill, fight, and consume a lot of body, so they prefer this kind of heavy-tasting food.

"I let you eat these, not just for the sake of early adopters. As the so-called rule according to the custom, now Beijing has been overcome, Bohai Sea is destroyed, how to govern next, do you have a plan?" Shao Shude asked.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing is to appease the prefectures and prefectures." Chen Cheng said: "But I expect these places to be repeated. Some people do not surrender and need to be peaceful. Or some people surrender and rebel, and they also need to be peaceful. This is not an overnight achievement. , or it will be delayed."

Shao Shude was silent for a while, and asked, "Has the messenger of victory gone south?"

"It's already gone south. Beiping Prefecture will also send messengers to Lubu Feijie to all the states in the world." Chen Cheng replied.

"Send another group of soldiers back to bring the seized property and livestock." Shao Shude said: "The people in Bohai will bring a batch back, so that the common people can see it."

"Follow the order." Chen Cheng responded.

The sage was very thoughtful, and he was using solid evidence to tell the world that Wang Shi had won a great victory in the Bohai Sea, had overthrowed his country, captured his ruler, and plundered his property.People who are careful or not, be honest with me, otherwise you will end up in the same way.

"Since that's the case, I'm not in a hurry." Shao Shude said with a smile: "Bohai died too fast and too suddenly. The sooner the better. What about after the caressing?"

"Your Majesty, appeasement of local prefectures and counties is actually the same thing as asking Heishui Mohe to retreat." Chen Cheng said: "I received the military report in the morning that Tie Li Mansion wanted to surrender, but it was quickly defeated by the Mohe tribe. The Mohe people Unwilling to surrender."

"Is this a tribe that migrated from the Bohai Sea?"

"Exactly. Mohe, who moved inland, was full of rebellion. They have held back for 100 years, and they will not give up until they have enough fun. They also echo Heishui Mohe from afar, and they may need to send troops to conquer."

"I heard Zhang Dingbao mention the Mohe Rebellion." Shao Shude said: "The nine surnames of Mohe in Longyuan Mansion attacked prefectures and counties, plundered villages, and even besieged the city. I cannot tolerate this kind of behavior. Wan Yanxiu!"

"The end is here." Wan Yanxiu hurriedly stood up.

"I want to seek peace and move to the Mohe Tribe. Where do the [-] surnames of Heishui stand?" Shao Shude asked.

"Your Majesty, the Wanyan family will obey the imperial court's orders." Wanyanxiu replied.

"Useless stuff." Shao Shude scolded: "You can only talk about the Yan family."

"Your Majesty, Wuyan's family can do it too." Wanyanxiu said anxiously.

"Okay, let's do our best." Shao Shude sighed: "I will not treat meritorious ministers badly."

"Of course." Wanyanxiu's brow was sweating, he was really a little anxious, worried about his fellow clansmen who were still making noise and dazzled by the victory.

"Other than these two things, what's the third thing?" Shao Shude asked.

"After the situation stabilizes, clear the household registration and confiscate the property. It is best to move a group of people from the Central Plains to the Bohai provinces." Chen Cheng said: "On the other hand, the government soldiers still need a lot of steps. Some people who descended from the Bohai Sea can be forgiven. Amnesty is for the common people, some are not good, and should be relegated to trilogy. In this way, rewards and punishments will be clearly defined, both kindness and power will be given, and the overall situation will be settled."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Shao Shude said: "It's only been a few years since the rebellion of household registration in Youzhou? Bohai is a place where the rule of aristocratic families is deeply rooted. Clearing up household registration is not an easy task. Of course, I also know that if you don't clean up , the Bohai family still has manpower, material resources, and military power, and it is easy to rebel. You are right, I don’t do simple things, I don’t do troublesome things, I only do correct things, and I will do what I want. Continue to say !"

"After recruiting prefectures and counties, expelling Mohe, clearing household registrations, and relocating government soldiers, it will be a great revitalization of education, and students from Daozhou and counties in the Central Plains are required to come." Chen Cheng said.

"At the time, I felt that it was unnecessary to abolish the school of Confucian classics in one county, so I could only raise 30 soldiers." Shao Shude said with emotion, "I didn't expect that after [-] years, it would come in handy."

"Your Majesty is so far-sighted, I admire you so much." Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng said together.

Shao Shude smiled and said: "I won't talk about that. Chen Shilang just said it very well, very complete. But there is still one thing missing..."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty." Chen Cheng arched his hands and said.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, I will personally arrest it." Shao Shude said: "Simply put, it is a matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I did not bring them here for sightseeing. The battle is almost over, and the business has not yet begun. How to do it. Well, in two days, I will go to Tokyo Ryuhara Mansion and his party. In Shangjing, you just need to control the overall situation."

"The ministers obey the order." Everyone responded in unison.
